EnrichNet 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

EnrichNet is a network-based enrichment analysis method to identify functional associations between user-defined gene or protein sets and cellular pathways. The datasets are mapped onto a protein interaction network (or other user-defined molecular network) and their pairwise associations are assessed by computing a graph-based statistic, i.e. distances between the network nodes are mapped against a background model. In contrast to the classical overlap-based enrichment analysis, associations can also be identified for non-overlapping gene/protein sets and the user can investigate them in detail by visualizing corresponding sub-graphs.
